Description

This University of Georgia Press publication traces the profound reactions of activists, artists, writers, and local residents to the brutal 1918 lynching of Mary Turner, a pregnant woman, near Valdosta, Georgia. The book examines how this horrific event was remembered and interpreted through diverse cultural works, including Walter White's report in the NAACP's Crisis newspaper, the Kabnis section of Jean Toomer's Cane, Angelina Weld Grimke's short story Goldie, and Meta Fuller's sculpture Mary Turner: A Silent Protest against Mob Violence. Through meticulous research and compelling writing, the author illuminates a tragic chapter of American history, demonstrating how different voices responded to and processed one of the era's most devastating acts of racial violence. This scholarly work bridges history and literature, offering essential insight into how communities, artists, and activists grappled with injustice and sought to preserve memory of those lost.
